4.Swedish People Import Trash
You know the old saying...one man’s trash is another man’s .. means for energy production in a modern society. Sweden is so efficient at recycling trash and converting it into useable power that they have to import 800,000 tons of trash each year from Norway and many other European countries . Recycling is so popular in Sweden that less than four percent of Swedish household trash has ended up in a landfill in the past 6 years. Now that’s impressive! The country has already began to get the rest of Europe thinking about recycling and ways to reduce landfill waste. But all of Sweden’s accomplishments do not come without some apprehension from environmentalists. Some argue that the energy conversion plants put out unhealthy amounts of CO2, and that it takes less energy to just recycle and reuse items versus burning them and converting them into energy.
3.PolarNights
Some of the countries Scandinavia’s region experience the phenomenon of “Polar Night”, which is when a night lasts longer than 24 hours. Some areas of Scandinavia like Tromsø, Norway, experiences a Polar Night season that lasts from November all the way to January where no sunlight occurs at all. The same principle applies to the summer months of May to July, when the sun never sets.This is also known as “midnight sun”. Norway takes pride in calling itself “Land of the Midnight Sun” and actually endures the Polar night with shockingly low depression rates or dissatisfaction amongst it’s people. The idea of a three month night seems like something out of a Hollywood apocalypse video, but it’s simply a way of life here. How do people get through it? They have adapted to many both traditional and new technological techniques in order for their bodies to feel fulfilled. Many use artificial UV sunlamps to simulate the joyful and energizing feeling that one feels from the sun. The Polar night season sounds super depressing, but it’s not all bad news. Sometimes, it is actually celebrated amongst individuals, as they adorn their windowsills and business-front with festive candles and decorations.
2.Norway’s AtlanticRoadThe Atlantic Road has been named by some travel blogs to be the most interesting and picturesque road trip you can take in the world. The Storseisundet Bridge on the popular Atlantic Road in Norway certainly seems to make onlookers think “No-Way!”. The bridge appears to just cut off halfway ascended into the air, leaving any driver that’s unlucky enough to take it in pretty bad shape . But don’t worry, that’s not the case. After a sharp uphill turn to the left, the bridge continues on the other side. This bridge is just one of 8 bridges that make up the 5 mile Atlantic Road- a road that stretches up Norway’s vast coast, connect tiny islands and fjords.The Atlantic Road is a beautiful drive, but it’s also been named amongst some of the craziest and most dangerous bridges out there. Atlantic roadsters chose to cruise down this windy road all throughout the year. However, it can be subject to vastly-changing weather conditions and dangerous waves crashing against it’s asphalt.
1.Iceland Believes in Trolls
Sure, it seems like a pretty odd generalization to just outright state an accusation as outlandish as “Everyone in Iceland believes in troll and troll bridges!”, and we’re sure that it's not necessarily true. But an incredible amount of Icelandic troll folklore can be found online and even seen in their architecture. Yes, there are actual troll bridges and troll churches that have been constructed here! Well, in Iceland they are referred to as Huldufólk, or hidden people, or Icelandic elves. Icelanders get so ritualistic in their protection of the elves that they have buildings that are protected just in case the elves stop by to use the facilities. According to the Atlantic, a 1998 survey concluded that 54.4 percent of Icelanders believed in the existence of elves. Whoa, 54.4 percent!? That’s over half of the population. That’s more people than typically come out and rally during a US Presidential election. How did the number get this high? At it’s core, socialists, scientists and psychologists have concluded that it’s difficult for someone to TRULY believe that elves exist, but they can still love to entertain the possibility. And while we joke that maybe there is a “pot of gold” at the end of a rainbow, people of Iceland actually believe this could be true. We don’t really get this rumor, but the evidence available seems to suggest it’s no rumor at all!

Russia expands the scope of its embargo on food imports from Europe in retaliation for more Western sanctions over the crisis in Ukraine.
Prime MinisterDmitry Medvedev put Albania, Montenegro, Liechtenstein, and Iceland on a list of sanctioned nations that already includes the US, Canada, Australia, and the EU. The new measure comes after these four nations aligned themselves with the bloc in extending anti-Moscow sanctions for another year. Russia will also ban certain food imports from Ukraine from 2016 if an economic association agreement between Kiev and the EU comes into force. Moscow’s ban targets a wide range of imports like fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, milk, and dairy products. Russia was the EU’s second-biggest buyer of food stuff before introducing the embargo last august.

Iceland

Iceland (i/ˈaɪslænd/; Icelandic:Ísland[ˈistlant]), also called the Republic of Iceland, is a Nordicisland country between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. It has a population of 329,100 and an area of 103,000km2 (40,000sqmi), making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík. Reykjavík and the surrounding areas in the southwest of the country are home to over two-thirds of the population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence still keeps summers chilly, with most of the archipelago having a tundra climate.

Icelandic horse

The Icelandic horse is a breed of horse developed in Iceland. Although the horses are small, at times pony-sized, most registries for the Icelandic refer to it as a horse. Icelandic horses are long-lived and hardy. In their native country they have few diseases; Icelandic law prevents horses from being imported into the country and exported animals are not allowed to return. The Icelandic displays two gaits in addition to the typical walk, trot, and canter/gallop commonly displayed by other breeds. The only breed of horse in Iceland, they are also popular internationally, and sizable populations exist in Europe and North America. The breed is still used for traditional sheepherding work in its native country, as well as for leisure, showing, and racing.

Developed from ponies taken to Iceland by Norse settlers in the 9th and 10th centuries, the breed is mentioned in literature and historical records throughout Icelandic history; the first reference to a named horse appears in the 12th century. Horses were venerated in Norse mythology, a custom brought to Iceland by the country's earliest settlers. Selective breeding over the centuries has developed the breed into its current form. Natural selection has also played a role, as the harsh Icelandic climate eliminated many horses through cold and starvation. In the 1780s, much of the breed was wiped out in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption at Laki. The first breed society for the Icelandic horse was created in Iceland in 1904, and today the breed is represented by organizations in 19different nations, organized under a parent association, the International Federation of Icelandic Horse Associations.

Europe Iceland Say's Goodbye to the Big-Mac

Iceland will have to go on without the option of supersizing, McDonald's will close due to falling profits caused by the collapse of the Icelandic krona. The current economy has made it too expensive to operate the franchise. Iceland's three McDonald's restaurants - all in the capital Reykjavik - will close next weekend.
Jon Gardar Ogmundsson, the owner of Lyst Hr., the McDonald's franchise holder in Iceland, said the economic situation had made it just too expensive to run the business.
Lyst was bound by McDonald's requirement that it import all the goods required for its restaurants - from packaging to meat and cheeses - from Germany.
A Big Mac in Reykjavik already retails for $5.29 but the 20 percent increase needed to make a decent profit would have pushed that to $6.36.
That would have made the Icelandic version of the burger the most expensive in the world, a title currently held jointly by Switzerland and Norway where it costs $5.75.
The decision to close the Icelandic franchise was taken in agreement with McDonald's Inc. after a review of several months.
Ebru News

My Iceland Show Setup at Quixotic

Mcdonald´s leaves Iceland ! read info.

Due to the bad economy here in Iceland , McDonalds, is closing down next saturday .
According to the CEO of McDonalds in Iceland, this is because that the Icelandic currency is low, and they have to import everything from Germany.
The Icelandic Krona has fallen 100 % to the Us Dollar since the banking crisis last year.
So the McDonalds franchise is no more in ICeland , and instead there will still be burgers at the McDonalds location, but new name - and no Mcdonalds franchise.
The new burger place will be called - Metro .
It will only use domestic beef ,cheese and so on.
Part of the Western civil civilization , as we know it , will leave Iceland next Saturday .
But as you can see on the Video - Colonel Sanders is not far away from the McDonalds location.
KFC , will still be in Iceland , so there maybe some hope yet !
McDonalds opened in Iceland in 1993.
And Mr. David Oddson , who was CEO of the Central bank during the Banking Crisis last year, and in 1993 he was Icelands Prime minister , was the first guest and ordered the first McDonalds hamburger in ICeland .
Will he get the last burger on saturday ?
Stay tuned !

Europe Iceland Say's Goodbye to the Big-Mac

Iceland will have to go on without the option of supersizing, McDonald's will close due to falling profits caused by the collapse of the Icelandic krona. The current economy has made it too expensive to operate the franchise. Iceland's three McDonald's restaurants - all in the capital Reykjavik - will close next weekend.
Jon Gardar Ogmundsson, the owner of Lyst Hr., the McDonald's franchise holder in Iceland, said the economic situation had made it just too expensive to run the business.
Lyst was bound by McDonald's requirement that it import all the goods required for its restaurants - from packaging to meat and cheeses - from Germany.
A Big Mac in Reykjavik already retails for $5.29 but the 20 percent increase needed to make a decent profit would have pushed that to $6.36.
That wou...

My Iceland Show Setup at Quixotic

Mcdonald´s leaves Iceland ! read info.

Due to the bad economy here in Iceland , McDonalds, is closing down next saturday .
According to the CEO of McDonalds in Iceland, this is because that the Icelandic currency is low, and they have to import everything from Germany.
The Icelandic Krona has fallen 100 % to the Us Dollar since the banking crisis last year.
So the McDonalds franchise is no more in ICeland , and instead there will still be burgers at the McDonalds location, but new name - and no Mcdonalds franchise.
The new burger place will be called - Metro .
It will only use domestic beef ,cheese and so on.
Part of the Western civil civilization , as we know it , will leave Iceland next Saturday .
But as you can see on the Video - Colonel Sanders is not far away from the McDonalds location.
KFC , will still be in I...

Did you know that the Icelandic horse can achieve five gaits while most horses only have three or four? Thanks toIceland's stringent import/export policies, the Icelandic horse can walk, tölt, trot, pace and canter/gallop.
In this websiode, I get the thrill of riding an Icelandic horse on a black-sand beach, learning how to tölt for the first time and watching an expert rider attempt the flying pace on a championship Icelandic horse.
I learned to ride an Icelandic horse with VikingHorses, who offers everything from small group tours in lava fields to lavish private tours that can include a helicopter ride over Bardarbunga Volcano. To book a tour or learn more about the Icelandic horse, visit www.vikinghorses.is.

From Swedish People Import Trash to Iceland Believes in Trolls here are 10 Incredibly CoolThings In Scandinavia. Would you visit here?
Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr
4.Swedish People Import Trash
You know the old saying...one man’s trash is another man’s .. means for energy production in a modern society. Sweden is so efficient at recycling trash and converting it into useable power that they have to import 800,000 tons of trash each year from Norway and many other European countries . Recycling is so popular in Sweden that less than four percent of Swedish household trash has ended up in a landfill in the past 6 years. Now that’s impressive! The country has already began to get the rest of Europe thinking about recycling and ways to reduce landfill waste. But all of Sweden’s accomplishments do not come without some apprehension from environmentalists. Some argue that the energy conversion plants put out unhealthy amounts of CO2, and that it takes less energy to just recycle and reuse items versus burning them and converting them into energy.
3.PolarNights
Some of the countries Scandinavia’s region experience the phenomenon of “Polar Night”, which is when a night lasts longer than 24 hours. Some areas of Scandinavia like Tromsø, Norway, experiences a Polar Night season that lasts from November all the way to January where no sunlight occurs at all. The same principle applies to the summer months of May to July, when the sun never sets.This is also known as “midnight sun”. Norway takes pride in calling itself “Land of the Midnight Sun” and actually endures the Polar night with shockingly low depression rates or dissatisfaction amongst it’s people. The idea of a three month night seems like something out of a Hollywood apocalypse video, but it’s simply a way of life here. How do people get through it? They have adapted to many both traditional and new technological techniques in order for their bodies to feel fulfilled. Many use artificial UV sunlamps to simulate the joyful and energizing feeling that one feels from the sun. The Polar night season sounds super depressing, but it’s not all bad news. Sometimes, it is actually celebrated amongst individuals, as they adorn their windowsills and business-front with festive candles and decorations.
2.Norway’s AtlanticRoadThe Atlantic Road has been named by some travel blogs to be the most interesting and picturesque road trip you can take in the world. The Storseisundet Bridge on the popular Atlantic Road in Norway certainly seems to make onlookers think “No-Way!”. The bridge appears to just cut off halfway ascended into the air, leaving any driver that’s unlucky enough to take it in pretty bad shape . But don’t worry, that’s not the case. After a sharp uphill turn to the left, the bridge continues on the other side. This bridge is just one of 8 bridges that make up the 5 mile Atlantic Road- a road that stretches up Norway’s vast coast, connect tiny islands and fjords.The Atlantic Road is a beautiful drive, but it’s also been named amongst some of the craziest and most dangerous bridges out there. Atlantic roadsters chose to cruise down this windy road all throughout the year. However, it can be subject to vastly-changing weather conditions and dangerous waves crashing against it’s asphalt.
1.Iceland Believes in Trolls
Sure, it seems like a pretty odd generalization to just outright state an accusation as outlandish as “Everyone in Iceland believes in troll and troll bridges!”, and we’re sure that it's not necessarily true. But an incredible amount of Icelandic troll folklore can be found online and even seen in their architecture. Yes, there are actual troll bridges and troll churches that have been constructed here! Well, in Iceland they are referred to as Huldufólk, or hidden people, or Icelandic elves. Icelanders get so ritualistic in their protection of the elves that they have buildings that are protected just in case the elves stop by to use the facilities. According to the Atlantic, a 1998 survey concluded that 54.4 percent of Icelanders believed in the existence of elves. Whoa, 54.4 percent!? That’s over half of the population. That’s more people than typically come out and rally during a US Presidential election. How did the number get this high? At it’s core, socialists, scientists and psychologists have concluded that it’s difficult for someone to TRULY believe that elves exist, but they can still love to entertain the possibility. And while we joke that maybe there is a “pot of gold” at the end of a rainbow, people of Iceland actually believe this could be true. We don’t really get this rumor, but the evidence available seems to suggest it’s no rumor at all!

Russia expands the scope of its embargo on food imports from Europe in retaliation for more Western sanctions over the crisis in Ukraine.
Prime MinisterDmitry Medvedev put Albania, Montenegro, Liechtenstein, and Iceland on a list of sanctioned nations that already includes the US, Canada, Australia, and the EU. The new measure comes after these four nations aligned themselves with the bloc in extending anti-Moscow sanctions for another year. Russia will also ban certain food imports from Ukraine from 2016 if an economic association agreement between Kiev and the EU comes into force. Moscow’s ban targets a wide range of imports like fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, milk, and dairy products. Russia was the EU’s second-biggest buyer of food stuff before introducing the embargo last august.

Iceland will have to go on without the option of supersizing, McDonald's will close due to falling profits caused by the collapse of the Icelandic krona. The current economy has made it too expensive to operate the franchise. Iceland's three McDonald's restaurants - all in the capital Reykjavik - will close next weekend.
Jon Gardar Ogmundsson, the owner of Lyst Hr., the McDonald's franchise holder in Iceland, said the economic situation had made it just too expensive to run the business.
Lyst was bound by McDonald's requirement that it import all the goods required for its restaurants - from packaging to meat and cheeses - from Germany.
A Big Mac in Reykjavik already retails for $5.29 but the 20 percent increase needed to make a decent profit would have pushed that to $6.36.
That would have made the Icelandic version of the burger the most expensive in the world, a title currently held jointly by Switzerland and Norway where it costs $5.75.
The decision to close the Icelandic franchise was taken in agreement with McDonald's Inc. after a review of several months.

That would have made the Icelandic version of the burger the most expensive in the world, a title currently held jointly by Switzerland and Norway where it costs $5.75.
The decision to close the Icelandic franchise was taken in agreement with McDonald's Inc. after a review of several months.

Due to the bad economy here in Iceland , McDonalds, is closing down next saturday .
According to the CEO of McDonalds in Iceland, this is because that the Icelandic currency is low, and they have to import everything from Germany.
The Icelandic Krona has fallen 100 % to the Us Dollar since the banking crisis last year.
So the McDonalds franchise is no more in ICeland , and instead there will still be burgers at the McDonalds location, but new name - and no Mcdonalds franchise.
The new burger place will be called - Metro .
It will only use domestic beef ,cheese and so on.
Part of the Western civil civilization , as we know it , will leave Iceland next Saturday .
But as you can see on the Video - Colonel Sanders is not far away from the McDonalds location.
KFC , will still be in Iceland , so there maybe some hope yet !
McDonalds opened in Iceland in 1993.
And Mr. David Oddson , who was CEO of the Central bank during the Banking Crisis last year, and in 1993 he was Icelands Prime minister , was the first guest and ordered the first McDonalds hamburger in ICeland .
Will he get the last burger on saturday ?
Stay tuned !

Iceland Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

With a population of only 300,000, Iceland can feel like the most isolated place on earth, yet its capital Reykjavik, is only a three-hour flight from London and just under six from New York.
Reykjavik is relaxed and welcoming, yet possesses a cultural life that holds its own against other European capitals. Most buildings are built simple and low to beat the North Atlantic winds. However, the city is also graced with grand civic architecture inspired by Iceland’s natural beauty, such as the soaring central tower of Hallgrímskirkja.
Many of the country’s most popular sights are within easy reach of Reykjavík. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Iceland, at the Blue Lagoon. Then spend a day or two in The Golden Circle, an area which encompasses three of Iceland’s greatest natural wonders;...

Iceland Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Iceland.
Iceland is an island born of fire and ice with white glaciers, black beaches and green meadows: a land of geysers, waterfalls and volcanoes.Reykjavik is set amid a fascinating landscape, a metropolis on the outermost edge of civilisation and the world’s northernmost capital city. A little outside the city is an attraction that is a meeting place for one and all, The Blue Lagoon, the largest bath tub in the world! The mineral water it contains has a temperature of forty degrees centigrade and the milky-blue pool has been proven to possess beneficial healing qualities. Southeast of The Blue Lagoon is Hveragerdi that is set within an idyllic valley. Due to its protected location and numerous thermal springs, in 1929 a garden city originated there and wi...

ICELAND TRAVEL DIARY

Iceland is by far one of the most unique places we've ever visited. It honestly felt like we were on a different planet! It was like a photographers dreamland, because the sunset lasted for 3 hours (hello golden hour!), and the sun never fully went down. We got back to our Airbnb around midnight every night, because we got too carried away exploring! We had the best time with Brad's sister Natalie and her little family -- they have two little girls that are exactly Lucy & Greta's age!

How to Visit Iceland on a Budget

Think you can’t afford to visit Iceland? Think again! Here’s how you can travel Iceland for under $100USD per day.
———————————————————————————————————————
Iceland is an incredible country with tons of amazing things to offer tourists, including natural beauty, friendly people, and exciting outdoor activities. Unfortunately, it can also be really expensive. With an average daily cost of $200 USD, many travelers see Iceland as being outside their budget.
Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be the case. How do I know? Because I traveled through Iceland for under $100 USD per day.
And you can do the same—all you need is a little patience, planning, and flexibility.

With a population of only 300,000, Iceland can feel like the most isolated place on earth, yet its capital Reykjavik, is only a three-hour flight from London and just under six from New York.
Reykjavik is relaxed and welcoming, yet possesses a cultural life that holds its own against other European capitals. Most buildings are built simple and low to beat the North Atlantic winds. However, the city is also graced with grand civic architecture inspired by Iceland’s natural beauty, such as the soaring central tower of Hallgrímskirkja.
Many of the country’s most popular sights are within easy reach of Reykjavík. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Iceland, at the Blue Lagoon. Then spend a day or two in The Golden Circle, an area which encompasses three of Iceland’s greatest natural wonders; Thingvellir National Park, the GeysirGeothermalField, and Gullfoss.
Iceland’s main ring road strings together an endless series of epic landscapes. Less than two hours drive east of Reykjavik are two of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Continue eastward towards Vík, Iceland’s southern-most village, where you’ll find the dramatic landscapes of Black Beach, Reynisdrangar, and Dyrholaey. Follow the ring road for another two hours into the ethereal light of Jökulsárlón Lake, where icebergs break away from Europe’s largest glacier and float for years before tumbling out to sea.
Head north and feel the earth rumble at Europe’s mightiest waterfall, Dettifoss. Then explore the Myvatn region, a tranquil lake surrounded by nature in all its violent beauty. Take a careful walk through the boiling landscape of Namafjall, lose yourself amid the lava pillars of Dimmuborgir, and peer into the caldera of Krafla Volcano.
Known as the Capital of the North, Akureyri is the perfect place to warm up and enjoy some creature comforts, before heading off into the wilds again. In Iceland, every side road is a story waiting to unfold. So come, and live your own Icelandic story, it’s one you’ll keep telling for the rest of your days.

-----------------------------------------------
Iceland has something for every traveller, no matter if you’re looking to relax or channel your inner thrill seeker. If you want to chill out then you must visit Blue Lagoon, the ultimate geothermal spa in the country, located in a lava field in Grindavik. Of course, there’s plenty of natural springs scattered throughout the country, many along the Reykjanes Peninsula. The rich minerals will leave your skin feeling brand new. Once you’re relaxed and ready for an adventure you’ll want to add a few hiking trails to your list of must-have experiences. Take a walk through Thingvellier National Park or the Latrabjarg Cliffs, go river rafting down HvitaRiver, snorkel through the Silfra ravine or even kayak between fjords in Ísafjörðu.
Travelling along Iceland’s Ring Road (which covers the entire circumference of the country) will allow you to cross off these essential Icelandic bucket list items with ease. Booking a tour will ensure your trip is fun, flawless and stress-free: http://www.tourradar.com/d/iceland
Remember to pack your waterproof hiking boots, waterproof rain jacket, swimsuit, flip flops, thin gloves, hiking socks, sunglasses, and a camera with extra batteries.
Iceland’s currency is the Icelandic krona. The country is a mostly cashless society so don’t hesitate to back your debit and credit cards as they are likely to be accepted everywhere. Alcohol and restaurant meals can be more expensive than one might anticipate so bring enough cash to accommodate your needs.
---About Iceland---
Iceland, the land of fire and ice, exists on a remote island between Norway and Greenland and boasts a modest population of just over 300,000 people. You’ll soon discover that there are plenty of reasons to make your next vacation an Icelandic one.
Roughly 10% of the country’s surface is covered by glaciers and there are 130 volcanoes spread throughout, 18 of which have erupted since the settlement of Iceland 1100 years ago. Nearly 60% of the nation’s entire population live in the capital city of Reykjavik and those who do not are scattered sparsely throughout its rural countryside.

This is HolidayExtras’ Travel guides and we’re here in Iceland. We’ll be giving you all the essential information you need to Travel Better. We’ll be covering money, language, tips on where to go and even how to see the Northern Lights. But first, here’s a bit about the country itself.
Iceland is between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, about a three hour flight north from London. Iceland is unlike anywhere we’ve been before, its volcanic landscapes and picturesque backdrops create this almost untouched feeling and it’ll make you fall in love with the country.
Most international flights will arrive at Keflavik (KEF) airport, which is 40 minutes outside the capital city of Reykjavik and it’s here, where we’ll start.
Greyline and Flybus run transfer buses 35 minutes after each landing. Both services offer a hotel drop off at selected hotels for an additional fee. they cover most hotels but if you isn’t on there, you can find out which stop is closest and just walk the rest of the way.
An airport taxi will set you back around 12,000 Krona for the 45 minute journey. However, self-drive holidays are really popular here and, if this is ahwt you’re planning, then it makes sense to pick up your hire car at the airport, before you head into Reykjavik.
Reykjavik is the base for most holidays in Iceland. It’s the world’s most northernly capital city and it’s a hub for Icelandic culture. Reykjavik is the embodiment of the Iceland culture of proud self-sufficiency and fierce interest in the arts. There’s no McDonald’s or Starbucks here; instead, its streets are lined with independent coffee shops and boutiques. There’s always something going on and the nightlife is legendary. Don’t forget to pick up your free copy of the Reykjavik Grapevine for what’s going on while you’re here.
It’s worth trying to stay in the centre as a room in the middle puts everything within walking distance. AirBnBs and hotels and plentiful but if you’re coming in the summer, book in advance because it can get super busy. If you want to book a tour out of the city, then head to Laugavegur. There are loads of tourist information outlets here that can help you with anything you want to do.
After spending some time in Reykjavik, we recommend jumping in your car and taking a day to explore the Golden Circle. It’s one of Iceland’s most popular tours, taking in the Geyser, Thingvellir National Park and Gulfoss.
If you’re staying a bit longer, then the south coast is a must. Follow the Ring Road all the way to the Jokulsarlon GlacierLagoon, stopping off at sites like Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss and some of the world’s most beautiful black sand beaches. And of course, don’t forget to stop by the Blue Lagoon on your way back. It’s only 20 minutes outside Keflavik airport and it’s the perfect way to end your Icelandic adventure.
Getting around Iceland on your own is surprisingly straight-forward. The main Ring Road connects all the major towns and if you stick to it, you can’t really go wrong. Now bear in mind that driving here is nothing like driving at home so there are a few things you need to know…
Summer is the time to do a driving holiday, as the roads will be open and the conditions will be good with lots of daylight. The weather in Winter can make driving difficult and once you leave Reykjavik it can get quite dangerous. It’s not recommended unless you really know what you’re doing; getting stuck in a white-out isn’t fun.
If you plan on straying off the Ring Road, then hire a four wheel drive car. the roads can be uneven and pot-holes are common. Do not go on F Roads, as hire cars are not allowed on them. Off-road driving is forbidden as it damages the environment. You’ll get fined around 350,000 Krona if caught.

Here’s our travel guide with EVERYTHING you need to know about how to TravelBetter in Iceland, including how to see the Northern Lights; what to do in Reykjavik; the Icelandic language; driving around; how much everything costs and some of the top things you *must* see and do.

And of course, don’t forget to stop by the Blue Lagoon on your way back. It’s only 20 minutes outside Keflavik airport and it’s the perfect way to end your Icelandic adventure.
Getting around Iceland on your own is surprisingly straight-forward. The main Ring Road connects all the major towns and if you stick to it, you can’t really go wrong. Now bear in mind that driving here is nothing like driving at home so there are a few things you need to know…
Summer is the time to do a driving holiday, as the roads will be open and the conditions will be good with lots of daylight. The weather in Winter can make driving difficult and once you leave Reykjavik it can get quite dangerous. It’s not recommended unless you really know what you’re doing; getting stuck in a white-out isn’t fun.
If you plan on straying off the Ring Road, then hire a four wheel drive car. the roads can be uneven and pot-holes are common. Do not go on F Roads, as hire cars are not allowed on them. Off-road driving is forbidden as it damages the environment. You’ll get fined around 350,000 Krona if caught.

Travel video about destination Iceland.
Iceland is an island born of fire and ice with white glaciers, black beaches and green meadows: a land of geysers, waterfalls and volcanoes.Reykjavik is set amid a fascinating landscape, a metropolis on the outermost edge of civilisation and the world’s northernmost capital city. A little outside the city is an attraction that is a meeting place for one and all, The Blue Lagoon, the largest bath tub in the world! The mineral water it contains has a temperature of forty degrees centigrade and the milky-blue pool has been proven to possess beneficial healing qualities. Southeast of The Blue Lagoon is Hveragerdi that is set within an idyllic valley. Due to its protected location and numerous thermal springs, in 1929 a garden city originated there and within its many greenhouses grow vegetables, fruit and exotic flowers. Amid the historic Pingvellir Plains, once the location of ancient gatherings and where justice was administered, is the Öxararfoss Waterfall, the island’s oldest Man made device that was used to supply the region with drinking water. On the southern tip of Iceland is the small village of Skogar. The interior of the houses are comfortably furnished and the privately owned HomelandMuseum gives a good insight into the daily life of bygone times. Large stones support the wooden sides of the houses, the roofs and remaining walls of which are protected by grass-covered earth. In this area is one of the island’s most gigantic and highest waterfalls, Skogafoss, that rages sixty metres into the depths below. The mist above the water cloaks the sight of this mighty natural wonder whose water thunders down across the cliffs of the ancient shoreline with awesome power. Iceland is a fascinating world of water, fire and ice and full of breathtaking beauty and overwhelming contrast. It is one of the last natural paradises on Earth.

Iceland is by far one of the most unique places we've ever visited. It honestly felt like we were on a different planet! It was like a photographers dreamland, because the sunset lasted for 3 hours (hello golden hour!), and the sun never fully went down. We got back to our Airbnb around midnight every night, because we got too carried away exploring! We had the best time with Brad's sister Natalie and her little family -- they have two little girls that are exactly Lucy & Greta's age!

Transcript:
I’m Abi and I’m here with the HolidayExtras Travel Guides, in Iceland. And in no particular order, here are our top things to do…
First is the Blue Lagoon. This geothermally-heated pool has become Iceland’s must-do. Its water reaches up to 38 degrees and its algae, minerals and silica is said to condition and rejuvenate the skin.
Gullfoss is an enormous and breath-taking waterfall on the Hvita river.
You can see regular geothermal eruptions at Geysir, although it’s actually its smaller neighbour, Strokkur, that goes off every 10 minutes or so.
Thingvellir National Park is where you can see the join between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
Reykjavik is Iceland’s capital city and the embodiment of the Icelandic culture of self-sufficiency and a keen interest in the arts. For 900 Krona you can take the lift to the top of Hallgrimskirkja for unparalleled views over the city.
Down by the harbour the SagaMuseum is the place to learn all about Iceland’s Viking history. You can even try some authentic armour or just go for the faux fur and sword option like me.
About 15 minutes outside of Reykjavik is the Laxnes HorseFarm. Fun fact: Icelandic horses have two gaits, which is two more than any other breed.
Hiring a car is absolutely the best way to experience Iceland. The RingRoad runs around the entire country and if you want to do the whole thing, we’d give it at least two weeks.
Seljalandsfoss is just off the Ring Road, about 90 minutes South-East of Reykjavik. Part of this one’s charm is you can walk all the way around behind it but you’ll need waterproofs!
About 15 minutes further along is the giant waterfall, Skogafoss. We’re at the top of Skogafoss. It’s absolutely beautiful but nothing like what I expected. There are stairs that you can climb, all the way to the top, and believe me, it takes a while to take your time. But the real gem is actually back here. So you climb over a fence, it’s quite muddy, quite uneven terrain as well, but it’s beautiful. You can see all the way down, where the river runs, and it’s genuinely the most beautiful Icelandic scenery I’ve seen so far.
Seljavallalaug is a secret geothermal pool. To get to it, you drive to the end of road 242, park your car and then hike the rest of the way through a breath-taking valley. It’s not the easiest of routes but it is worth it.
Up next, Reynisfjara beach. Well, just take a look for yourself - it’s stunning.
And now it’s the canyon with the impossible name. The canyon is totally off the tourist track. It’s over 100 metres deep and 2km long.
Next up is one of the most beautiful places we visited in Iceland. Jokulsarlon translates as ‘glacier river lagoon’ and basically it’s just where the sea over there, meets the glacier and it breaks off into all of these chunks. Personally, I think it’s the best place for a bit of photography.
Glacier hiking was easily my favourite Iceland experience. The sheer scale of this landscape leaves you in awe. And, the climbing itself wasn’t as easy as it looks.
Only around in winter, the ice caves at vatnajokull glacier have to be seen to be believed. We did a tour with the guys from iceguide.is. They provided all the extra kit we needed and are really friendly and true experts when it comes to exploring the caves.
Iceland is one of the best countries for seeing the Northern Lights. When I eventually saw them, the colours and sheer vibrancy were something I’ll never forget.
So that was our top things to do. Hopefully we’ve given you some inspiration for your own adventures. Keep watching for more Iceland content and subscribe for a new video every week.

Think you can’t afford to visit Iceland? Think again! Here’s how you can travel Iceland for under $100USD per day.
———————————————————————————————————————
Iceland is an incredible country with tons of amazing things to offer tourists, including natural beauty, friendly people, and exciting outdoor activities.

Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be the case. How do I know? Because I traveled through Iceland for under $100 USD per day.
And you can do the same—all you need is a little patience, planning, and flexibility.

Economy of Iceland

The economy of Iceland is small and subject to high volatility. In 2011, gross domestic product was US$12.3bn. With a population of 321,000, this is $38,000 per capita, based on purchasing power parity estimates. The financial crisis of 2007–2010 produced a decline in GDP and employment, although the magnitude of this decline remains to be determined.
Iceland has a mixed economy with high levels of free trade and government intervention. However, government consumption is less than other Nordic countries. Geothermal power is the primary source of home and industrial energy in Iceland.

Africa's Cowboy Capitalists (Full Length)

For maverick entrepreneur Ian Cox, Africa is the last frontier of free enterprise. The former small-time hustler has been busting his ass on the continent for years, selling and moving merchandise. In 2012 he nabbed a lucrative United Nations contract to transport equipment from South Africa to South Sudan, a country on many countries' embargo list. The other problem: the journey north entails passing through countless checkpoints and dealing with bribe-happy officials and their nonsensical paperwork and regulations.
Photographer and filmmaker Tim Freccia followed around Ian and the guys he hired for this job. "Cowboy Capitalists" documents their attempts to navigate the continent's dangerous roads and bureaucratic chaos.

[352] China tops crude oil imports

China overtook the U.S. as the world’s top importer of crude oil and is expected to remain the top importer for some time. China is already the world’s biggest energy consumer with oil being by far the largest traded energy market. By overtaking the U.S., this means that China is now the top consumer of almost all commodities including coal, iron, ore and most metals.
James Galbraith is back on the show to talk about the U.S. economy and wage growth. And then after the break, Paul Craig Roberts joins us to discuss Greece and the Turkish pipeline project. Eurozone finance ministers met Monday in Brussels to discuss the future financial aid for Greece. He tells us why Greece should leave the EU.

Extreme EngineeringMegastructuresIcelandicSuper Dam
Extreme Engineering Megastructures Icelandic Super Dam 4K Fully Stunning Techonlogy
Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant (Icelandic Kárahnjúkavirkjun) is a hydroelectric power plant in Fljótsdalshérað municipality in eastern Iceland designed to produce 4,600 gigawatt-hours (17,000 TJ) annually for Alcoa's Fjardaál aluminum smelter 75 kilometres (47 mi) to the east in Reyðarfjörður. With the installed capacity of 690 megawatts (930,000 hp), the plant is the largest hydroelectric power plant in Iceland. The project, named after nearby Mount Kárahnjúkur, involves damming the Jökulsá á Dal river and the Jökulsá í Fljótsdal river with five dams, creating three reservoirs. Water from the reservoirs is then diverted through 73 kilometres (45 mi) of underground water tunnels and down a 420-metre (1,380 ft) vertical penstock towards a single underground power station. The smelter became fully operational in 2008 and the hydro-power project was completed in 2009.

Icelandic Horse: Everything You Need to Know

Did you know that the Icelandic horse can achieve five gaits while most horses only have three or four? Thanks toIceland's stringent import/export policies, the Icelandic horse can walk, tölt, trot, pace and canter/gallop.
In this websiode, I get the thrill of riding an Icelandic horse on a black-sand beach, learning how to tölt for the first time and watching an expert rider attempt the flying pace on a championship Icelandic horse.
I learned to ride an Icelandic horse with VikingHorses, who offers everything from small group tours in lava fields to lavish private tours that can include a helicopter ride over Bardarbunga Volcano. To book a tour or learn more about the Icelandic horse, visit www.vikinghorses.is.

10 Incredibly Cool Things In Scandinavia

From Swedish People Import Trash to Iceland Believes in Trolls here are 10 Incredibly CoolThings In Scandinavia. Would you visit here?
Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr
4.Swedish People Import Trash
You know the old saying...one man’s trash is another man’s .. means for energy production in a modern society. Sweden is so efficient at recycling trash and converting it into useable power that they have to import 800,000 tons of trash each year from Norway and many other European countries . Recycling is so popular in Sweden that less than four percent of Swedish household trash has ended up in a landfill in the past 6 years. Now that’s impressive! The country has already began to get the rest of Europe thinking about recycling and ways to reduce landfill waste. But all of Sweden’s accomplishments do not come without some apprehension from environmentalists. Some argue that the energy conversion plants put out unhealthy amounts of CO2, and that it takes less energy to just recycle and reuse items versus burning them and converting them into energy.
3.PolarNights
Some of the countries Scandinavia’s region experience the phenomenon of “Polar Night”, which is when a night lasts longer than 24 hours. Some areas of Scandinavia like Tromsø, Norway, experiences a Polar Night season that lasts from November all the way to January where no sunlight occurs at all. The same principle applies to the summer months of May to July, when the sun never sets.This is also known as “midnight sun”. Norway takes pride in calling itself “Land of the Midnight Sun” and actually endures the Polar night with shockingly low depression rates or dissatisfaction amongst it’s people. The idea of a three month night seems like something out of a Hollywood apocalypse video, but it’s simply a way of life here. How do people get through it? They have adapted to many both traditional and new technological techniques in order for their bodies to feel fulfilled. Many use artificial UV sunlamps to simulate the joyful and energizing feeling that one feels from the sun. The Polar night season sounds super depressing, but it’s not all bad news. Sometimes, it is actually celebrated amongst individuals, as they adorn their windowsills and business-front with festive candles and decorations.
2.Norway’s AtlanticRoadThe Atlantic Road has been named by some travel blogs to be the most interesting and picturesque road trip you can take in the world. The Storseisundet Bridge on the popular Atlantic Road in Norway certainly seems to make onlookers think “No-Way!”. The bridge appears to just cut off halfway ascended into the air, leaving any driver that’s unlucky enough to take it in pretty bad shape . But don’t worry, that’s not the case. After a sharp uphill turn to the left, the bridge continues on the other side. This bridge is just one of 8 bridges that make up the 5 mile Atlantic Road- a road that stretches up Norway’s vast coast, connect tiny islands and fjords.The Atlantic Road is a beautiful drive, but it’s also been named amongst some of the craziest and most dangerous bridges out there. Atlantic roadsters chose to cruise down this windy road all throughout the year. However, it can be subject to vastly-changing weather conditions and dangerous waves crashing against it’s asphalt.
1.Iceland Believes in Trolls
Sure, it seems like a pretty odd generalization to just outright state an accusation as outlandish as “Everyone in Iceland believes in troll and troll bridges!”, and we’re sure that it's not necessarily true. But an incredible amount of Icelandic troll folklore can be found online and even seen in their architecture. Yes, there are actual troll bridges and troll churches that have been constructed here! Well, in Iceland they are referred to as Huldufólk, or hidden people, or Icelandic elves. Icelanders get so ritualistic in their protection of the elves that they have buildings that are protected just in case the elves stop by to use the facilities. According to the Atlantic, a 1998 survey concluded that 54.4 percent of Icelanders believed in the existence of elves. Whoa, 54.4 percent!? That’s over half of the population. That’s more people than typically come out and rally during a US Presidential election. How did the number get this high? At it’s core, socialists, scientists and psychologists have concluded that it’s difficult for someone to TRULY believe that elves exist, but they can still love to entertain the possibility. And while we joke that maybe there is a “pot of gold” at the end of a rainbow, people of Iceland actually believe this could be true. We don’t really get this rumor, but the evidence available seems to suggest it’s no rumor at all!

Russia adds 4 new nations to food import ban list

Russia expands the scope of its embargo on food imports from Europe in retaliation for more Western sanctions over the crisis in Ukraine.
Prime MinisterDmitry Medvedev put Albania, Montenegro, Liechtenstein, and Iceland on a list of sanctioned nations that already includes the US, Canada, Australia, and the EU. The new measure comes after these four nations aligned themselves with the bloc in extending anti-Moscow sanctions for another year. Russia will also ban certain food imports from Ukraine from 2016 if an economic association agreement between Kiev and the EU comes into force. Moscow’s ban targets a wide range of imports like fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, milk, and dairy products. Russia was the EU’s second-biggest buyer of food stuff before introducing the embargo last august.

Iceland Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

With a population of only 300,000, Iceland can feel like the most isolated place on earth, yet its capital Reykjavik, is only a three-hour flight from London and just under six from New York.
Reykjavik is relaxed and welcoming, yet possesses a cultural life that holds its own against other European capitals. Most buildings are built simple and low to beat the North Atlantic winds. However, the city is also graced with grand civic architecture inspired by Iceland’s natural beauty, such as the soaring central tower of Hallgrímskirkja.
Many of the country’s most popular sights are within easy reach of Reykjavík. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Iceland, at the Blue Lagoon. Then spend a day or two in The Golden Circle, an area which encompasses three of Iceland’s greatest natural wonders; Thingvellir National Park, the GeysirGeothermalField, and Gullfoss.
Iceland’s main ring road strings together an endless series of epic landscapes. Less than two hours drive east of Reykjavik are two of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Continue eastward towards Vík, Iceland’s southern-most village, where you’ll find the dramatic landscapes of Black Beach, Reynisdrangar, and Dyrholaey. Follow the ring road for another two hours into the ethereal light of Jökulsárlón Lake, where icebergs break away from Europe’s largest glacier and float for years before tumbling out to sea.
Head north and feel the earth rumble at Europe’s mightiest waterfall, Dettifoss. Then explore the Myvatn region, a tranquil lake surrounded by nature in all its violent beauty. Take a careful walk through the boiling landscape of Namafjall, lose yourself amid the lava pillars of Dimmuborgir, and peer into the caldera of Krafla Volcano.
Known as the Capital of the North, Akureyri is the perfect place to warm up and enjoy some creature comforts, before heading off into the wilds again. In Iceland, every side road is a story waiting to unfold. So come, and live your own Icelandic story, it’s one you’ll keep telling for the rest of your days.

Iceland: The Ultimate Travel Guide by TourRadar 1/5

Iceland: The UltimateTravelGuide by TourRadar gives you all the info you need to explore the island of fire and ice like a pro. Learn some basics about the country, including what you have to do & see once you arrive, when it's best to travel and which food & drinks you definitely need to enjoy throughout your journey.
-----------------------------------------------
Iceland has something for every traveller, no matter if you’re looking to relax or channel your inner thrill seeker. If you want to chill out then you must visit Blue Lagoon, the ultimate geothermal spa in the country, located in a lava field in Grindavik. Of course, there’s plenty of natural springs scattered throughout the country, many along the Reykjanes Peninsula. The rich minerals will leave your skin feeling brand new. Once you’re relaxed and ready for an adventure you’ll want to add a few hiking trails to your list of must-have experiences. Take a walk through Thingvellier National Park or the Latrabjarg Cliffs, go river rafting down HvitaRiver, snorkel through the Silfra ravine or even kayak between fjords in Ísafjörðu.
Travelling along Iceland’s Ring Road (which covers the entire circumference of the country) will allow you to cross off these essential Icelandic bucket list items with ease. Booking a tour will ensure your trip is fun, flawless and stress-free: http://www.tourradar.com/d/iceland
Remember to pack your waterproof hiking boots, waterproof rain jacket, swimsuit, flip flops, thin gloves, hiking socks, sunglasses, and a camera with extra batteries.
Iceland’s currency is the Icelandic krona. The country is a mostly cashless society so don’t hesitate to back your debit and credit cards as they are likely to be accepted everywhere. Alcohol and restaurant meals can be more expensive than one might anticipate so bring enough cash to accommodate your needs.
---About Iceland---
Iceland, the land of fire and ice, exists on a remote island between Norway and Greenland and boasts a modest population of just over 300,000 people. You’ll soon discover that there are plenty of reasons to make your next vacation an Icelandic one.
Roughly 10% of the country’s surface is covered by glaciers and there are 130 volcanoes spread throughout, 18 of which have erupted since the settlement of Iceland 1100 years ago. Nearly 60% of the nation’s entire population live in the capital city of Reykjavik and those who do not are scattered sparsely throughout its rural countryside.

This is HolidayExtras’ Travel guides and we’re here in Iceland. We’ll be giving you all the essential information you need to Travel Better. We’ll be covering money, language, tips on where to go and even how to see the Northern Lights. But first, here’s a bit about the country itself.
Iceland is between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, about a three hour flight north from London. Iceland is unlike anywhere we’ve been before, its volcanic landscapes and picturesque backdrops create this almost untouched feeling and it’ll make you fall in love with the country.
Most international flights will arrive at Keflavik (KEF) airport, which is 40 minutes outside the capital city of Reykjavik and it’s here, where we’ll start.
Greyline and Flybus run transfer buses 35 minutes after each landing. Both services offer a hotel drop off at selected hotels for an additional fee. they cover most hotels but if you isn’t on there, you can find out which stop is closest and just walk the rest of the way.
An airport taxi will set you back around 12,000 Krona for the 45 minute journey. However, self-drive holidays are really popular here and, if this is ahwt you’re planning, then it makes sense to pick up your hire car at the airport, before you head into Reykjavik.
Reykjavik is the base for most holidays in Iceland. It’s the world’s most northernly capital city and it’s a hub for Icelandic culture. Reykjavik is the embodiment of the Iceland culture of proud self-sufficiency and fierce interest in the arts. There’s no McDonald’s or Starbucks here; instead, its streets are lined with independent coffee shops and boutiques. There’s always something going on and the nightlife is legendary. Don’t forget to pick up your free copy of the Reykjavik Grapevine for what’s going on while you’re here.
It’s worth trying to stay in the centre as a room in the middle puts everything within walking distance. AirBnBs and hotels and plentiful but if you’re coming in the summer, book in advance because it can get super busy. If you want to book a tour out of the city, then head to Laugavegur. There are loads of tourist information outlets here that can help you with anything you want to do.
After spending some time in Reykjavik, we recommend jumping in your car and taking a day to explore the Golden Circle. It’s one of Iceland’s most popular tours, taking in the Geyser, Thingvellir National Park and Gulfoss.
If you’re staying a bit longer, then the south coast is a must. Follow the Ring Road all the way to the Jokulsarlon GlacierLagoon, stopping off at sites like Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss and some of the world’s most beautiful black sand beaches. And of course, don’t forget to stop by the Blue Lagoon on your way back. It’s only 20 minutes outside Keflavik airport and it’s the perfect way to end your Icelandic adventure.
Getting around Iceland on your own is surprisingly straight-forward. The main Ring Road connects all the major towns and if you stick to it, you can’t really go wrong. Now bear in mind that driving here is nothing like driving at home so there are a few things you need to know…
Summer is the time to do a driving holiday, as the roads will be open and the conditions will be good with lots of daylight. The weather in Winter can make driving difficult and once you leave Reykjavik it can get quite dangerous. It’s not recommended unless you really know what you’re doing; getting stuck in a white-out isn’t fun.
If you plan on straying off the Ring Road, then hire a four wheel drive car. the roads can be uneven and pot-holes are common. Do not go on F Roads, as hire cars are not allowed on them. Off-road driving is forbidden as it damages the environment. You’ll get fined around 350,000 Krona if caught.

Iceland Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Iceland.
Iceland is an island born of fire and ice with white glaciers, black beaches and green meadows: a land of geysers, waterfalls and volcanoes.Reykjavik is set amid a fascinating landscape, a metropolis on the outermost edge of civilisation and the world’s northernmost capital city. A little outside the city is an attraction that is a meeting place for one and all, The Blue Lagoon, the largest bath tub in the world! The mineral water it contains has a temperature of forty degrees centigrade and the milky-blue pool has been proven to possess beneficial healing qualities. Southeast of The Blue Lagoon is Hveragerdi that is set within an idyllic valley. Due to its protected location and numerous thermal springs, in 1929 a garden city originated there and within its many greenhouses grow vegetables, fruit and exotic flowers. Amid the historic Pingvellir Plains, once the location of ancient gatherings and where justice was administered, is the Öxararfoss Waterfall, the island’s oldest Man made device that was used to supply the region with drinking water. On the southern tip of Iceland is the small village of Skogar. The interior of the houses are comfortably furnished and the privately owned HomelandMuseum gives a good insight into the daily life of bygone times. Large stones support the wooden sides of the houses, the roofs and remaining walls of which are protected by grass-covered earth. In this area is one of the island’s most gigantic and highest waterfalls, Skogafoss, that rages sixty metres into the depths below. The mist above the water cloaks the sight of this mighty natural wonder whose water thunders down across the cliffs of the ancient shoreline with awesome power. Iceland is a fascinating world of water, fire and ice and full of breathtaking beauty and overwhelming contrast. It is one of the last natural paradises on Earth.

ICELAND TRAVEL DIARY

Iceland is by far one of the most unique places we've ever visited. It honestly felt like we were on a different planet! It was like a photographers dreamland, because the sunset lasted for 3 hours (hello golden hour!), and the sun never fully went down. We got back to our Airbnb around midnight every night, because we got too carried away exploring! We had the best time with Brad's sister Natalie and her little family -- they have two little girls that are exactly Lucy & Greta's age!

I’m Abi and I’m here with the HolidayExtras Travel Guides, in Iceland. And in no particular order, here are our top things to do…
First is the Blue Lagoon. This geothermally-heated pool has become Iceland’s must-do. Its water reaches up to 38 degrees and its algae, minerals and silica is said to condition and rejuvenate the skin.
Gullfoss is an enormous and breath-taking waterfall on the Hvita river.
You can see regular geothermal eruptions at Geysir, although it’s actually its smaller neighbour, Strokkur, that goes off every 10 minutes or so.
Thingvellir National Park is where you can see the join between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
Reykjavik is Iceland’s capital city and the embodiment of the Icelandic culture of self-sufficiency and a keen interest in the arts. For 900 Krona you can take the lift to the top of Hallgrimskirkja for unparalleled views over the city.
Down by the harbour the SagaMuseum is the place to learn all about Iceland’s Viking history. You can even try some authentic armour or just go for the faux fur and sword option like me.
About 15 minutes outside of Reykjavik is the Laxnes HorseFarm. Fun fact: Icelandic horses have two gaits, which is two more than any other breed.
Hiring a car is absolutely the best way to experience Iceland. The RingRoad runs around the entire country and if you want to do the whole thing, we’d give it at least two weeks.
Seljalandsfoss is just off the Ring Road, about 90 minutes South-East of Reykjavik. Part of this one’s charm is you can walk all the way around behind it but you’ll need waterproofs!
About 15 minutes further along is the giant waterfall, Skogafoss. We’re at the top of Skogafoss. It’s absolutely beautiful but nothing like what I expected. There are stairs that you can climb, all the way to the top, and believe me, it takes a while to take your time. But the real gem is actually back here. So you climb over a fence, it’s quite muddy, quite uneven terrain as well, but it’s beautiful. You can see all the way down, where the river runs, and it’s genuinely the most beautiful Icelandic scenery I’ve seen so far.
Seljavallalaug is a secret geothermal pool. To get to it, you drive to the end of road 242, park your car and then hike the rest of the way through a breath-taking valley. It’s not the easiest of routes but it is worth it.
Up next, Reynisfjara beach. Well, just take a look for yourself - it’s stunning.
And now it’s the canyon with the impossible name. The canyon is totally off the tourist track. It’s over 100 metres deep and 2km long.
Next up is one of the most beautiful places we visited in Iceland. Jokulsarlon translates as ‘glacier river lagoon’ and basically it’s just where the sea over there, meets the glacier and it breaks off into all of these chunks. Personally, I think it’s the best place for a bit of photography.
Glacier hiking was easily my favourite Iceland experience. The sheer scale of this landscape leaves you in awe. And, the climbing itself wasn’t as easy as it looks.
Only around in winter, the ice caves at vatnajokull glacier have to be seen to be believed. We did a tour with the guys from iceguide.is. They provided all the extra kit we needed and are really friendly and true experts when it comes to exploring the caves.
Iceland is one of the best countries for seeing the Northern Lights. When I eventually saw them, the colours and sheer vibrancy were something I’ll never forget.
So that was our top things to do. Hopefully we’ve given you some inspiration for your own adventures. Keep watching for more Iceland content and subscribe for a new video every week.

How to Visit Iceland on a Budget

Think you can’t afford to visit Iceland? Think again! Here’s how you can travel Iceland for under $100USD per day.
———————————————————————————————————————
Iceland is an incredible country with tons of amazing things to offer tourists, including natural beauty, friendly people, and exciting outdoor activities. Unfortunately, it can also be really expensive. With an average daily cost of $200 USD, many travelers see Iceland as being outside their budget.
Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be the case. How do I know? Because I traveled through Iceland for under $100 USD per day.
And you can do the same—all you need is a little patience, planning, and flexibility.
